He's not worth more then that. Dude's played himself out of a big money contract.

I get he has a cap friendly contract but holy over payment...

Imagine an 82 game season without him next year

Every year there's some new top prospect from the NCAA that people are salivating over. Has any ever turned out to be a good NHL player?

Miller turns 29 in a week and is in his prime. While I do think a cup contending team NEEDS a player like him, the timing of this is kinda crappy. Having a career year and hitting his stride with only a year left on his contract. If you extend him now, you're buying when his value is at it's absolute highest. His contract will be EXPENSIVE and not worth it if the team doesn't get a cup I'm torn on this one...

His conditioning wasn't great by any means but nobody, both you and I dont know if he was injured or not. My initial guess was that he had to have broken some ribs in either the clinch throw or the elbows to the body. If you have every partiicapted in any sort of combat sport you know the effect that getting your bell rung can have on you. It plays a HUGE psycholoigcal effect and wears you down fast. Especially if you dont get a chance to recover. Because you're no longer thinking with a clear mind, and expend way to much energy. Shogun was blasted with a flying knee 5 seconds in On top of that. If you have ever done BJJ before, you would know how exhausting it is when you have someone on top of you for a few minutes. Let alone a guy like jones, whose covering your mouth so you can't breath, grabbing his throat, and elbowing his body. I dont understand why people think these guys are suppose to be superhuman? These things make a person fatigue, and fatigue fast. People say that shoguns conditioning looked off the chart amazing in his machida fight. Well you can't compare the two fights. Theirs a differance between standing in the pocket and exchanging a kick every 20 seconds and getting your ass kicked. I highly doubt he feels like he embaressed himself let alone his family. The guys considered the best 205 pounder of all time by many. Losing is a part of the game.

Yeah i think these guys were fat. so their goes your stupid theory, try again

I'm goin to the fight night in Seattle. I was really happy when they name zombie the replacment. But these fights are almost never as good as the firsts. But still, it should be a complete war!

Josh Barnett Frank Mir Tim Sylvia BJ Penn Ricco Rodriguez Noguera when he won the title Matt Serra usually looks out of shape Chuch Liddell always had a beer belly so yeah..... try again

maybe you should read further, because it might further educate you about the sport you clearly no little to nothing about. Like I said. A persons appearnace has to do with nothing Fedor, who most consider the greatest MMA fighter of All time. Phil Baroni (below), A guy who can't last 3 minutes in a fight without winding himself.

well i guess its not fair to say he can't take a punch. But its more so that he freaks out when he does. Which is really messed up considering he's a pro fighter. The way he reacted when both carwin and cain began to attack him was rather pathetic. Running away both times and curling into a ball. The guys got balls, but clearly he doesn't spar very hard if he's still panicing when punches are being thrown at him. As for the jones comment. The guys amazing. He's a freak athlete, with a freak body. But theirs a differance between that, and skill. He uses his attributes well, which lead to alot of his success. But besides his wrestling, which is amazing. His striking is not great, its good but not great. Or neither is his BJJ. But he's so young and it doesn't even have to be at this stage of his career. He's able to utilize his reach so well, that no one can really figure out a way to attack him. But guys like Aldo and GSP are the guys that you can say are super skilled and well rounded.

This post if full of so much fail. You know he was coming off knee surgery right? When you have almost a year off since your last fight, you're gonne be rusty. The fact that he was flabby means little to nothing in sport. Their are alot of guys that are aesthetically fit and look like pro body builders, but gas out in a minute. Fedor is a short fat russin rude that had some of the best cardio in his heavyweight weight class. You have to give Jones credit, he rocked shogun within a few seconds, and rocked him hard more then once in the first round. Which is why he looked very sloppy early on. On top of that, those elbows to the body are gonna wear you down fast. The fact that shogun appeared to have no gameplan for that fight was rather disgraceful but his conditioning wasn't poor because he didn't train properly.

LOL maybe the heart of a wwe champion. The guy can't take a punch. He's a freakin joke. As for Jones being he best all around fighter, thats not even remotley true at all.

Well GSP is probably gonna move up and Anderon will probably retire soon. But i know what you mean, no one in the company can really beat these guys. Styles make fights though, and no one is unbeatable. Guys like Diaz and Overeem might come along when their contracts are done and fight the UFC champs.

GSP was destroying guys and was dominant, but no Jones dominant. But GSP wasn't facing great guys like jones was at that age. Honestly the only guy in my memory that i can recall that was that dominant at that age was Shogun Rus believe it or not. If notom, one could argue he was even more dominate. Thats the crazy thing about this sport right now. Its in it early stages right now, so every few years, the new guys that come in are so much more skilled and well rounded. For guys that are older, they need to be constantly evolving and trying to keep up with the sport. Oh yeah, I guess Aldo who is only 24 is just as dominant. But unfortunently lower weight guys dont get the recognition they deserve. But Aldo has pretty much raped everyone he was ever fought in brutal fashion.
